Clarification Needed: Characteristics and Modifiers

[schir1964]

I've always had the impression that in order to apply an Advantage/Limitation directly to a Characteristic that the Characteristic must be purchased as a Power or that by applying an Advantage/Limitation to a Characteristic then the Characteristic is then considered a Power. I'm not talking about using a Naked Power Advantage to apply Advantages/Limitations to Characteristics.

 

Was this the intent of the rules, or have I been reading too much into them all these years? (not the first time this has happened)

 

Thanks.

Per 5ER 40, you have to use the Characteristics Power to apply a Power Modifier to a Characteristic, or buy it as a naked Advantage.
